Bipodopedia! With so many books out there on Ceramics and Ceramic Tech; we need people like John to keep it all straight for us. Either that or we can start taking notes..... I think i will stick to asking the Bipodopedia.

yeah i have, the bisque ware usually gets nice and smoky but most of the time i feel like it gets hotter than the smoke can stand. most of my pieces come out pink and bisque-ee like they came out of an electric kiln.

Marcia,

I agree that it is kinda risky, but this woodstove is good, also i am not really firing it THAT much hotter than normal woodstove use.A four foot fire box would be so much fin; this old beehive wood stove sounds like dream!

Maybe 20 years ago our HS had an incinerator that would burn all of the district trash. The other teacher an I made a bunch of pots with grogged clay, used raku type glazes, and packed the pots in tin can saggars with sawdust from the wood shops. We had quite a bit of fun, and some nice surfaces, but a few years later the district had to remove the incinerator. OH well!
